Defining the Jacobean Church: The Politics of Religious Controversy, 1603-1625 (Cambridge Studies in Early Modern British History) Book

This book proposes a new model for understanding religious debates in the churches of England and Scotland between 1603 and 1625. Its theme is ecclesiology--the nature of the church, its rites and governance, and its relationship to the early Stuart political world. It argues that rival interpretations of scripture, pagan and civil history and the sources central to the Christian historical tradition lay at the heart of disputes between proponents of contrasting ecclesiological visions on the political and spiritual role of church.Read More

  • Product Description

    Proposing a new model for understanding religious debates in the churches of England and Scotland between 1603 and 1625, Charles Prior sets aside 'narrow' analyses of conflict over predestination, This book's theme is ecclesiology--the nature of the church, its rites and governance, and its relationship to the early Stuart political world. Drawing on a substantial number of polemical works, from sermons to books of several hundred pages, it argues that rival interpretations of scripture, pagan and civil history and the sources central to the Christian historical tradition lay at the heart of disputes between proponents of contrasting ecclesiological visions.
